With a history that is believed to date back more than 3,000 years, China is one of the world’s oldest civilisations. Deeply rooted with a storied past, it’s no surprise that Chinese culture is full of ancient tradition, rich heritage and mythical folklore.

The perfect example of this is the Chinese zodiac which fully encompasses all three. Established in 2014 with the release of the Year of the Horse coin, The Shēngxiào Collection celebrates the lunar calendar and honours the various animals of the Chinese zodiac.

Continuing this annual tradition into 2023, The Royal Mint is proud to commemorate the fourth symbol in the 12-year cycle as we celebrate the Lunar Year of the Rabbit.

Dedicated to the rabbit or hare, the 2023 release marks the very first time the Year of the Rabbit has been immortalised on an official UK coin.
